We published a report yesterday saying that Vince Russo was actually fired
from TNA by John Gaburick and did not, as Russo says, leave on his own
terms.
Now, Russo has gone on the offensive on Twitter. Russo posted the following
to his Twitter account, using the “unnamed sources are crap” excuse. It is worth
noting that while we all disdain the “anonymous source” excuse (believe me, we
would love to have sources we can identify), many sources for journalism across
various fields stay anonymous because they fear for their jobs if they are
revealed. That’s not an attempt to comment on the legitimacy (or lack thereof)
of the original report, but instead an attempt to explain why we’ll never hear
“This specific person from TNA has revealed…”
Interesting.
Appears a rep from Phoney Wrestling Information (PW!) tapped my phone yesterday
to hear if I quit or got fired. Sneaky bastards

Here’s a
question-why can’t SOURCES have NAMES–UNLESS–they’re either
lying or being untrustworty–TO SOMEBODY!!!

Russo added the following to Twitter, promoting a new column on the VIP
section of his website which claims to have information on his exit:
